ABOUT BABY BEATRCE.The Famous Hamilton Infant NowCared for in New YorkCity.Bhe sls in the Charge of RobertRay's Exeoutor, Mr.Vollmer.Ample Provislon for Her in the WMGuesses at the Contents ofThat Doeumet.Baby Beatrice Hamilton passed last nightin this city, and she will hereafter be caredfor by the executors of the estate of BobertBay Hamilton, whose tragio death in theYellowstone region recently ended a careerreplete with sensational episodes, says theNew York World of Sept. 29.SAsn understanding was reached a few daysago by Gilbert M. Spier, Jr., one of the executors of Robert Bay Hamilton's estate.and Lawyer Joseph Kunsman, who hadbeen counsel for Mr. Hamilton, that theterms of the will empowered them torejmove the child from the care of Mrs. Rupp.of Philadelphia, and place her in a home Inthis city, where she may be brought up in acareful way and properly educated.On Saturday afternoon at three o'olock acarriage drove up to the house of Mrs.Howard BRupp at No. 464 Franklin street,Philadelphia, and from it alighted two menand a woman. They were evidently expected by Mrs. Rupp. who, opened the door.The' visitors soon reappeared, the woman-rrying the famous baby who, it is nowsaid, inherits a large portion of the deadex-aseemblyman's estate..The two men, the woman and little Beatries entered the carriage and were drivento the Broad street station of the Pennsylvania railroad, where they took the fouro'clok train for this city. Arriving at Jersey City they entered a carriage and waeredriven rapidly away. Who the woman wascould not be learned yesterday, but the menwre said to be E. l Vollmer, a lawyer ofthis city, and Gilbert M. Speir, a life-longfriend of Robert Ray Hamilton.The will of Robert Ray Hamilton has notyet been filed for probate, and will probablynot be until the return of Edmund L. Baylies, one of the executors. But the terms ofthe will are known to Mr. Speir, Mr. Kunsman and Mr. Vollmer, and their action inremoving Beatrice to this city is said to bein accordance with Mr. Hamilton's last instruotions. That the baby will be well provided for by the will was not denied lastnight by one of the three men who knowthe condition of afaires and he even intimated that a large portion of the estate willbe held in trust for the child. The estate islargely of realty in this city and a ranchoonSnake Hill, Idaho, the income being estimated at $18,000 a year.The World's authority for this story saidto a reporter last night: "It is useless tolook for the baby, as it will be a fraitlesssearch. I will say this, however that younot be able to find any 'of the gentlemen interested to-night, and I know youcannot fiAnd Mr. Vollmer in particular."Further than that he would not say, buthis manner indicated stronger than wordsthat baby Beatrice is under the proteotion of Mr. Vollmer or a person of his election.Mr. Vollmer was for years the confidential clerk of Robert .ay Hamilton.When Robert Ray Hamiltondecided to buyhe Idaho ranch and go west be made Mr.Vollmer his attorney. Mr. Kgunman merey had the care of legal matters pertainingto the suit in which Hamilton sought toannul his marriage to Evangeline SteeleHamilton, who is now in the Trenton jailwin. out a two years' sentence for anassault on Mrs. Donnelly, the nurse oftric.The assault occurred at Noll cottage onennessee avenue. Atlantio City, on Aug.86,1887, and first brought into prominencethe troubles of New York's ex assemblyman.During the trial evidence was produced'howing that baby Beatrice was not reallythe child of Robert Ray Hamilton, and thatMrs.Hamilton bought fourcehildren at an arerage price of $10 each, but they either didnot sane her purpose or had died. SoBeatrice, it was said, was procured andlmed of on Mr. Hamilton as his heir.On Sept. 8 Robert Ray Hamilton madere. Howard Rupp, of Philadelphia, theustodian of baby Beatrice. On that dayrs. Rupp visited Mrs. Hamilton in the Atantic City jail. She carried Beatrice, whoas extravagantly dressed. On each of thetiny arms was clasped a bracelet of Etru-scan gol In the center of eaoh goldenband blazed a solitare diamond. On themiddle finer of the right hand the babywore a ol ring, which was attaehed to theraeet by a finely wrought chain of delipate workmanship. Herbaby robe was ofhe finest white silk.Mrs. Hamilton was in bed at the time ofhe visit, but Baby Beatrice was gretedth every demonstration of motherly eoon. Subsequently, and about SeptemberMrs. Rupp, who kept the boarding housetNoll cottge, went to live in Phildelis."I bromuht this child with me," said Mrs.upp, at the time, "because Mr. Hamiltonasked me to look after the baby at May'sding when his wife was convicted. Ikeep the baby until Mr. Hamilton tellswhat to do with her."I About October 1,1889, the law arm ofRoot & Clark began an action for RobertRay Hamilton for the annulment of hislage to Eva L. Steele. The applicationas based on two ount as follows: (1)hat the woman had a husband at the timef her marriage to Hamilton; (2) that thearriage was obtained by fraud. It wasa suit for divorce. The ase was in thehands of Referee Van Duzer, of Elmira, attime of the death of Mr. Hamilton, andthat sad and tragic event raises a most unand odd question."'Unless Eva Steele had a husband livingt the time of her marriage to Robert RayHamilton," said Lawyer Abe"sheis to-day his widow and entitled to herdower. If he left no will she must receiveher one-third of his real estate and onefat that her husband had the bestfor the annulment of the marriage,ano matter how eatthe rahud bywhbiht marriage was bro ht about, would notter the ease in the lightestdegree.

He regularlysent allowances for the child, and the lastChidatmas he sent her two small turquoisepina and two picture books. At the sametime he sent a letter to Mrs. Rupp inquiring after the healthof the baby and requesting her to give the child the best of care.Just before he left for the west he againwent to Philadelphia to see the child.When he left he told Mrs. Rupp that hewould be back again in the fall to see herand the baby.-I4-'UEs uIvOHED WITE InuuuUITO THE DNA;-rud,1 all the way on oot ver mountain- 'and ughm orapeso andaug, ht cold. from the es of whichhis en thouht he would never recover.Lingeri with slow consmnoticn for manycovery advertised In a country newspaper,and he determined to try It. £ few bottleeworked a chane: six months' continued usecured himn. .ways too Independent to askhis country for ý peson, he now says heneeds none.
